USE AND MAINTENANCE
IT
ES
ADJUSTMENT
The sistem with a potentiometer for adju-
PT
sting the temperature of D.H.W. with a set-
ting range from 30° to 60°C offers a dou-
GB
ble advantage:
1) The boiler adapts perfectly to any type of
D.H.W. system, whether the mixing
system is a mechanical or a thermostat-
controlled type.
2) The thermal output is dosed according
to the temperature required, which
means a considerable saving in fuel.
NOTE: In order to avoid any misunderstan-
ding please remember that the value obtai-
ned by the product of temperature diffe-
rence (in °C) between D.H.W. output and
input into the boiler by the hourly flow rate
measured on the tap, where hot water is
drawn off (l/h), cannot be higher than the
useful output developed by the boiler.
For measurements and checks on flow
rate and temperature of D.H.W., use sui-
table instruments, taking into considera-
tion any heat dispersion along the stretch
of piping between the boiler and the mea-
suring point.
4.2
ADJUSTMENT OF
D.H.W. FLOW RATE
To adjust the D.H.W. flow rate, use the flow
rate adjuster (5 fig. 5).
Remember that the flow rates and corre-
sponding temperatures of use of hot water,
given in section 1.3, have been obtained by
positioning the selector of the circulation
pump on the maximum value.
Should there be any reduction in the
D.H.W. flow rate, the filter installed on the
inlet to the divertor valve (3 fig. 5) will
need cleaning.
4.4
GAS VALVE
The boilers are equipped standard with the
SIT 845 SIMGA/HONEYWELL VK 4105M
/SIEMENS VGU 50 gas valve (fig. 21).
The gas valve is set at two pressure values:
maximum and minimum.
According to the type of gas burnt, these
correspond to the values given in Table 4.
The gas pressures at the maximum and
minimum values, are factory set. Conse-
quently they must not be altered.
Only when you switch the appliance from
one type of gas suppl y (me t hane) t o
another (butane or propane), it is permit-
ted to alter the operating pressure.
4.5
GAS CONVERSION
This operation must be performed by
authorised personnel using original Sime
components.
82
To convert from natural gas to LPG or vice
versa, perform the following operations (fig.
22):
– Close the gas cock.
– Disassemble the burner manifold (3).
– Replace the main nozzles (6) supplied in
a kit, inserting the copper washer (4).
Use a ø 7 spanner to perform this ope-
ration.
– Remove the "JP4" connector link on
the card and set it in the position cor-
responding to the gas to be used (4 fig.
17).
– To set the values of maximum and mini-
mum gas pressure, follow the instruc-
tions given in section 4.5. 1 .
– After have ultimated the conversion of

panel the plate showing the relevant fee-

NOTE: When reassembling components
which you have removed, replace gas
seals; test all gas connections after
assembly using soapy water or a product
made specifically for the purpose, being
sure not to use open flame.
